BlueQ's unsightly Vibrating Bluetooth Wristband

by Darren Murph posted May 18th 2007 at 12:01PM

There's no shortage of vibrating alerts available for your cellphone these days, and while the MBW-100 watch will kindly inform you of whose calling while still looking relatively stylish on your arm, BlueQ's simplified attention getter certainly lacks any hint of fashion. BQ Wireless has unveiled a stripped down wristband that simply sports an internal Bluetooth module, on / off button, and a Transfer button in case your cellphone won't automatically take over the cal from the device. Put simply, this wrist adornment shakes your arm when someone's trying to ring you up, and while this may be somewhat less noticeable than a blaring ringtone in the middle of a crucial interview, it's bound to be exponentially more embarrassing when someone informs you that your articulatio radiocarpea is buzzing uncontrollably. Nevertheless, it's slated to hit retailers in July for $39.95 if you're still interested.

No way. I was just thinking about inventing something like this when I was on my way to the gym this a.m. Playing racquetball does not lend itself to packing a celly while on the court. But if I had one of these I could leave my phone just outside the door and know if my kids are trying to call.

Fashionable, no, but will have practical uses.
